City of Chicago’s Post

Hey #LinkedIn Network, Here goes nothin'-- 😉 I'm posting here for some help. I've been applying and interviewing at #educationresearch and #marketresearch companies for the better part of a year, and I need some #honestfeedback since I've yet to convert anything into a full-time offer in the K-12 or higher education research space. The roles I am applying for include titles like: Research Associate, Technical Assistance Consultant, Research Analyst, Education Data Analyst. Here is the background of my journey so far: 1️⃣ : Left the classroom in December 2022. 2️⃣ : Decided Education Research is where I want to pivot: I can use my mathematical/ problem-solving brain 🧠 and communication skills 📣 to answer research questions to analyze data and make recommendations. 3️⃣ : Applied. (probably close to 150 tailored applications and interviewed around 50 times.) 4️⃣ : Reflected. Realized I needed more research experience and data analysis skills. 5️⃣ : Took a data science course. 🖥 (Syracuse University Institute for Veterans and Military Families - IVMF) 6️⃣ : Studied #surveydesign #surveyresponse and performed #dataanalysis for disparities in higher education instruction by gender, race, and math identity as a research assistant for my former professor. 7️⃣ : Accepted a part-time virtual educator job with Proximity Learning, Inc. and I'm seeing education from a different lens 🔎 specifically being deeply immersed in #educationequity and #teachervacancies. 8️⃣ : EXCELLED 😂 at a data analytics course to continue upskilling. (Data Career Jumpstart learned Advanced #Excel, #SQL, 🌎 #Python, 🐍 #Tableau 😍 beginner #R, article write-ups 📰 , networking on LI 🤝 , and many more Avery Smith!) 9️⃣ : Continued applying, this time around to data jobs 📊, using my updated portfolio 🌟. 1️⃣ 0️⃣ : Continuing to interview, and continuing to get rejected, and above all, learning about #jobhunting in 2024. So... if you're with me this far... I'd love your help! Please give me your honest feedback. How can you help? Well, here are some ways: ✅ 1- SHARE THIS POST with your network. Help me #getajob and find my next work home. ✅ 2- Review my profile, resume, portfolio, and work samples, etc. and let me know how I can stop missing the mark. ✅ 3- COMMENT on this post and tell me what I'm missing!
